Had a long talk at the Memphis Farmer's Market with our favorite Mississippi farmer about how he saves melon seeds, hybridizes, how flavor changes as they sit in the field, watermelon's historic roots next to the Dead Sea, and his tastiest variety which was prone to cracking, so he quit growing it.
